<h1>Tutorial: HTTP/2.0 client<a class="headerlink" href="#tutorial-http-2-0-client" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>In this tutorial, we are going to write very primitive HTTP/2.0
client. The complete source code, libevent-client.c, is attached at
the end of this page. It also resides in examples directory in the
archive or repository.</p>
<p>This simple client takes 1 argument, HTTPS URI, and retrieves the
resource denoted by the URI. Its synopsis is like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><pre>$ libevent-client HTTPS_URI</pre>
</div>
<p>We use libevent in this tutorial to handle networking I/O. Please
note that nghttp2 iteself does not depends on libevent.</p>
<p>First we do some setup routine for libevent and OpenSSL library in
function <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">main()</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">run()</span></tt>, which is not so relevant to nghttp2
library use. The one thing you should look at is setup NPN callback.
The NPN callback is used for the client to select the next application
protocol over the SSL/TLS transport. In this tutorial, we use
<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_select_next_protocol" title="nghttp2_select_next_protocol"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_select_next_protocol()</span></tt></a> function to select the HTTP/2.0
protocol the library supports:</p>

<p>We use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">http2_session_data</span></tt> structure to store the data related to

</div>
<p>Since this program only handles 1 URI, it uses only 1 stream. We store
its stream specific data in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">http2_stream_data</span></tt> structure and the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">stream_data</span></tt> points to it. The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">struct</span> <span class="pre">http2_stream_data</span></tt> is
defined as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">typedef</span> <span class="k">struct</span> <span class="p">{</span>

<p>Since we are creating client, we use <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_client_new" title="nghttp2_session_client_new"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_client_new()</span></tt></a> to
initialize nghttp2 session object. We setup 5 callbacks for the
nghttp2 session. We&#8217;ll explain these callbacks later.</p>
<p>The <tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">delete_http2_session_data()</span></tt> destroys <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">session_data</span></tt> and frees
its bufferevent, so it closes underlying connection as well. It also
calls <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_del" title="nghttp2_session_del"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_del()</span></tt></a> to delete nghttp2 session object.</p>
<p>We begin HTTP/2.0 communication by sending client connection header,
which is 24 bytes magic byte sequence
(<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#NGHTTP2_CLIENT_CONNECTION_HEADER" title="NGHTTP2_CLIENT_CONNECTION_HEADER"><tt class="xref c c-macro docutils literal"><span class="pre">NGHTTP2_CLIENT_CONNECTION_HEADER</span></tt></a>) followed by SETTINGS
frame. The transmission of client connection header is done in

<p>Here we specify max MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS to 100, which is really not
needed for this tiny example progoram, but we are demonstrating the
use of SETTINGS frame. To queue the SETTINGS frame for the
transmission, we use <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_submit_settings" title="nghttp2_submit_settings"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_submit_settings()</span></tt></a>. Note that

actually send it. All <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_submit_*()</span></tt> family functions have
this property. To actually send the frame, <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_send" title="nghttp2_session_send"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_send()</span></tt></a> is

<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:scheme</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:authority</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">:path</span></tt>. To queue this HTTP request,

<p>Since we use bufferevent to abstract network I/O, we just write the
data to the bufferevent object. Note that <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_send" title="nghttp2_session_send"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_send()</span></tt></a>
continues to write all frames queued so far. If we were writing the
data to the non-blocking socket directly using <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">write()</span></tt> system call
in the <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_callbacks.send_callback" title="nghttp2_session_callbacks.send_callback"><tt class="xref c c-member docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_callbacks.send_callback</span></tt></a>, we will
surely get <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EAGAIN</span></tt> or <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">EWOULDBLOCK</span></tt> since the socket has limited
send buffer. If that happens, we can return
<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#NGHTTP2_ERR_WOULDBLOCK" title="NGHTTP2_ERR_WOULDBLOCK"><tt class="xref c c-macro docutils literal"><span class="pre">NGHTTP2_ERR_WOULDBLOCK</span></tt></a> to signal the nghttp2 library to stop
sending further data. But writing to the bufferevent, we have to
regulate the amount data to be buffered by ourselves to avoid possible
huge memory consumption. In this example client, we do not limit
anything. To see how to regulate the amount of buffered data, see the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">send_callback()</span></tt> in the server tutorial.</p>
<p>The third bufferevent callback is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">writecb()</span></tt>, which is invoked when
all data written in the bufferevent output buffer have been sent:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">static</span> <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="nf">writecb</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="k">struct</span> <span class="n">bufferevent</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">bev</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kt">void</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">ptr</span><span class="p">)</span>

</div>
<p>As described earlier, we just write off all data in <tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">send_callback()</span></tt>,
we have no data to write in this function. All we have to do is check
we have to drop connection or not. The nghttp2 session object keeps
track of reception and transmission of GOAWAY frame and other error
conditions as well. Using these information, nghttp2 session object
will tell whether the connection should be dropped or not. More
specifically, both <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_want_read" title="nghttp2_session_want_read"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_want_read()</span></tt></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_want_write" title="nghttp2_session_want_write"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_want_write()</span></tt></a> return 0, we have no business in the
connection. But since we have using bufferevent and its deferred
callback option, the bufferevent output buffer may contain the pending
data when the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">writecb()</span></tt> is called. To handle this situation, we
also check whether the output buffer is empty or not. If these
conditions are met, we drop connection.</p>
<p>We have already described about nghttp2 callback <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">send_callback()</span></tt>.
Let&#8217;s describe remaining nghttp2 callbacks we setup in

<p>The <tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">before_frame_send_callback()</span></tt> function is invoked when a frame is

<p>Remember that we have not get stream ID when we submit HTTP request
using <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_submit_request" title="nghttp2_submit_request"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_submit_request()</span></tt></a>. Since nghttp2 library reorders the
request based on priority and stream ID must be monotonically
increased, the stream ID is not assigned just before transmission.
The one of the purpose of this callback is get the stream ID assigned
to the frame. First we check that the frame is HEADERS frame. Since
HEADERS has several meanings in HTTP/2.0, we check that it is request
HEADERS (which means that the first HEADERS frame to create a stream).
The assigned stream ID is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">frame-&gt;hd.stream_id</span></tt>. Recall that we
passed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">stream_data</span></tt> in the <em>stream_user_data</em> parameter of
<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_submit_request" title="nghttp2_submit_request"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_submit_request()</span></tt></a> function. We can get it using
<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data" title="nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data()</span></tt></a> function. To really sure that
this HEADERS frame is the request HEADERS we have queued, we check
that <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">session_data-&gt;stream_data</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">stream_data</span></tt> returned from
<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data" title="nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_get_stream_user_data()</span></tt></a> are pointing the same
location. In this example program, we just only uses 1 stream, it is
unnecessary to compare them, but real applications surely deal with
multiple streams, and <em>stream_user_data</em> is very handy to identify
which HEADERS we are seeing in the callback. Therefore we just show
how to use it here.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_frame_recv_callback()</span></tt> function is invoked when a frame is

<p>In this tutorial, we are just interested in the HTTP response
HEADERS. We check te frame type and its category (it should be
<a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#NGHTTP2_HCAT_RESPONSE" title="NGHTTP2_HCAT_RESPONSE"><tt class="xref c c-macro docutils literal"><span class="pre">NGHTTP2_HCAT_RESPONSE</span></tt></a> for HTTP response HEADERS). Also check
its stream ID.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_data_chunk_recv_callback()</span></tt> function is invoked when a chunk
of data is received from the remote peer:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">static</span> <span class="kt">int</span> <span class="nf">on_data_chunk_recv_callback</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">nghttp2_session</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">session</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="kt">uint8_t</span> <span class="n">flags</span><span class="p">,</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In our case, a chunk of data is response body. After checking stream
ID, we just write the recieved data to the stdout. Note that the
output in the terminal may be corrupted if the response body contains
some binary data.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">on_stream_close_callback()</span></tt> function is invoked when the stream
is about to close:</p>
<div class="highlight-c"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="k">static</span> <span class="kt">int</span> <span class="nf">on_stream_close_callback</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">nghttp2_session</span> <span class="o">*</span><span class="n">session</span><span class="p">,</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the stream ID matches the one we initiated, it means that its
stream is going to be closed. Since we have finished to get the
resource we want (or the stream was reset by RST_STREAM from the
remote peer), we call <a class="reference internal" href="apiref.html#nghttp2_session_fail_session" title="nghttp2_session_fail_session"><tt class="xref c c-func docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2_session_fail_session()</span></tt></a> to commencing
the closure of the HTTP/2.0 session gracefully. If you have some data
associated for the stream to be closed, you may delete it here.</p>
